The Kubota Z482-E is a 0.48 L (479 cc, 29.2 cu·in) straight-two, water-cooled naturally aspirated vertical diesel engine from the Super-Mini series manufactured by Kubota.
The Kubota Z482-E engine has a spherical type сombustion сhamber (N-TVCS: Triple Vortex Combustion System) with glow plug, Bosch MD mini fuel injection pump, and Bosch throttle type injection nozzle.
The compression ratio rating is 23.5:1. Cylinder bore is 67.0 mm (2.64 in) and the piston stroke is 68.0 mm (2.68 in).
The Z482-E diesel engine produced 12.6 PS (9.3 KW; 12.5 HP) at 3,600 rpm of net (intermittent) horsepower.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- Z – 2-cylinders
- 48 – Approximate displacement 480 cc
- 2 – Super-Mini series
- E – EPA/CARB Tier 1 level
